Compact deep ripping to improve soil structure and plant growth

The ThunderRipper® by K-Line Ag is designed for growers who need serious ripping performance without a massive, hard-to-handle machine. Its heavy-duty frame and deep-working tines break through compacted layers down to approximately 450–500 mm, restoring natural soil structure so roots can explore deeper and access more moisture and nutrients.

By creating vertical channels through the profile, ThunderRipper® encourages better drainage, increases air exchange and helps organic matter work its way into the subsoil. This supports healthier root systems, stronger plant growth and more consistent yields across the paddock. A robust main frame is matched with heavy-duty tines and an adjustable knifing roller, allowing you to condition the surface and bust clods in the same pass.

Available in a choice of 3 Point Linkage and trailing folding models with operating widths from 2.5 to 6 m, ThunderRipper® suits a wide range of tractors and farming operations. Whether you are tackling headlands, traffic lanes or whole paddocks, it provides a compact, easy-to-transport solution for long-term soil improvement.

Features & Benefits

Deep-working tines for better penetration, moisture entry and crop performance

ThunderRipper® brings together deep, closely spaced tines and a strong, compact frame to deliver effective soil fracturing in one smooth pass. Working to ideal ripping depths, the tines open channels that let water and nutrients move more freely through the profile, boosting root penetration and overall plant vigour. The adjustable knifing roller follows behind to break down clods and leave a more level finish, making it easier for subsequent operations while helping to manage residue. The result is a practical, easy-to-handle ripper that delivers tangible gains in soil structure and crop productivity.
